I want aware that mice had bones!!!
“It just goes ro show ya….fisting and light bondage improve bone healing in mice.” - Rosanne Rosanadana
According to research
Interesting. Given the life span of mice, I have to wonder what the term “Intermittent Fasting” means for them. For Humans it’s generally going between 16 to 22 hours without eating every day (some say 12 hours is enough, but that’s wimping out). For mice, might Intermittent Fasting be 4 hours or so? Likewise, if mice go 16 hours, is that more equivalent to several days of fasting for humans?
I ask because the definition of Intermittent fasting for humans (16 to 22 hours) barely causes any biological changes in humans as one needs to fast 36 hours minimum to get to really start to get some biological changes (16 hours of fasting does tend to limit overall calories, but that’s about it).
Started a water fast Sunday night at 8 pm. Not hungry at all at this point. Going to try to go to Wednesday night at 8 pm.
This ‘study’ is heading in one direction - which is to justify denying food and nutrition to elderly patients with bone fractures.
Elderly people in general, tend to be malnourished. The last thing they need, with or without broken bones, is a program that includes fasting.
This is counterintuitive and WRONG.

The nutritional demands of healing
Each stage of the fracture healing process brings with it increased nutritional demands. For starters, the whole process requires a great deal of energy—which is generally supplied through the intake of calories in food. Next, healing requires the synthesis of new proteins, which is dependent upon an ample supply of amino acids derived from dietary proteins.
Provide the body with adequate energy
Fracture healing requires more energy than you might expect. Thus, it’s appropriate to increase your caloric intake to promote healing. In traumatic fractures of the long bones, for example, there is an immediate increase in metabolic demands that can translate into a caloric demand three times that of normal. While a normally active adult may require 2,500 calories a day, a bedridden, injured patient with multiple fractures may need 6,000 calories per day! If this demand is not met, the healing process is compromised.
Increase your protein intake
Bone can be imagined as being somewhat like a sponge made of living protein upon which mineral crystals are embedded. By volume, roughly half of bone is comprised of protein. When a fracture occurs, the body is called upon to gather protein building blocks together to synthesize a new structural bone protein matrix. In addition, protein supplementation increases growth factors like insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a polypeptide that exerts a positive effect on skeletal integrity, muscle strength, immune response, and bone renewal. Protein malnutrition or under-nutrition leads to a “rubbery” callus, compared to the rigid calluses of those with adequate or high protein intake. Numerous studies document the acceleration of fracture healing with even a modest 10- to 20-gram increase in protein intake. The benefits of supplemental protein are important to everyone and especially important to those with malnutrition or low baseline protein intake. In fact, among elderly hip fracture patients, poor protein status at the time of fracture predicts fracture outcome. Those with low protein status take longer to heal, and have more complications, including death.
Fasting is for people who are healthy and well-nourished. Malnourished people shouldn’t fast.
